So Much for Returnable Bottles

There's a dairy in Blountstown called Ocheese Creamery that sells their milk in returnable glass bottles. Basically, you pay $2 for the bottle + some money for the milk. Then you drink the milk and return the empty bottle to get your $2 back.

I bought a half gallon of their whole milk last week, drank it, then went to return the bottle today. I got it into the store, out of my backpack, set it on the floor. Somehow I knocked it over (it was on the floor) and it broke. That's a situation where nobody wins. Consolation prize: the bottle was in a plastic bag, so only one piece of broken glass fell on the floor and it was easy to clean up.
